Examples of preppy boys names

Could you give me some examples of 'preppy' boys names? But nothing tooooo out there or uppity sounding e.g. Tarquinius or Horatio would be way too much for us!

I was at university with a Chunder - differentiated from the other Chunder in my year, who was "Chunder Ben"

First name doesn’t matter. if They are preppy they will be known by their surname with a y on the end!

Zachery is definitely a trickled down name judging by the amount of Zacks I know.

My son has a name heavily featured on these lists and widely regarded as posh.. I heard his name screeched across Poundland the other day and was actually shocked as you seldom hear it. It doesn’t take long before the user friendly posh names ( as opposed to pretentious) become pretty humdrum.

I read Zachary had “trickled down”. No longer preppy, sorry.

drumandthebass yes Chunder, I knew a very dashing Chunder from the yacht club, how could I forget!

His best friends were Boil and Grunt.

Any inspiration here yet, OP? :)
